A part of sharing information is sharing inspirational stories, people, and businesses.

This week we highlight StimTastic - Chewable Jewelry, Stim Toys and Fidgets.

"For Autistics, By Autistics"

An online store which sells stimming jewelry and chewing necklaces that do not look stigmatizing and offer inclusivity. All of their pieces are very affordable, and 10% of their proceeds go to the Autism Community.

Stimtastic is affordable stim toys, chewable jewelry and fidgets for Autistic adults and teens (and kids too!). Owned by an Autistic person, Stimtastic celebrates stimming as a natural part of life on the spectrum.
